Chapter 33: Faith

Chaoping, as in the past, practiced martial arts diligently under the guidance of Old Man Qu, carrying water and horses every day, and these things were repeated over and over again, but in Chaoping's eyes, these boring things could be persevered. www.biquge.info The old man Qu saw everything Chaoping had done in his eyes, and in his heart, this young man was very talented, and he was likely to become the best candidate for his successor, but he didn't know Chaoping very well, such as how his heart was, whether he would be proud or have a fierce side, etc. The scenery on the mountain is very beautiful, and the morning is very suitable for practice, Chaoping will meditate on the grass by the woods for two hours every morning, and feel the subtle changes in the breath and body according to the way the old man Qu taught. In these days on the mountain, at first he missed the friends and relatives he knew before, but now he decided to concentrate on practicing, he did it when he practiced, his heart was like water, and he first let go of those distracting thoughts, because there was a seed in his heart, he wanted to practice martial arts in the future to revitalize his Li Jiajun, and fulfill his grandfather's wish to protect his family and defend the country.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed, and Old Man Qu still hasn't accepted Chaoping as an apprentice, and Chaoping hasn't learned anything, he feels that with his own talent, he can master all the real kung fu of Old Man Qu, but in the past half a year, he has repeated the same thing, except that his body has become a little strong. Chaoping actually ignored one thing, that is, he didn't get sick for most of the year, before he had a minor illness in three days and a major illness in ten days, and he almost always had to be stared at with medicine, but now he has always been healthy, Old Man Qu looked at Chaoping from a distance, and muttered: "I've never seen such a high talent, this kid is almost like this." ”

Chaoping sweated like a horse under the rain, and gradually it rained, and the sun was also covered by dark clouds, Chaoping still did not move, just in the rain motionless and tied the horse step, Qu Old Man shouted Chaoping to go back, this Chaoping walked to the house. Chaoping's body had already been soaked with sweat, and he had been poured by the rain for a long time, the first thing he did when he entered the house was to change into a suit, and in the other room, Old Man Qu was discussing with Rou'er about going down the mountain to purchase. Chaoping was called in by Old Man Qu, and Chaoping, who had not yet rested, listened to the task given to him by the prospective master, and Old Man Qu said: "Chaoping, you and Rou'er will go down the mountain tomorrow morning to the town shop in front of you to buy some salt and come back." "This old man is like a fairy, he doesn't have any special hobbies, so he doesn't lack anything on weekdays, but cooking without salt is not good, so I want my granddaughter and Chaoping to go on a trip and buy some salt back. Chaoping naturally agreed, he hadn't seen anyone else for a long time, and at this time, he could also wander around and relieve the pressure he had been practicing.

The next day, Chao Ping and Rou'er went down the mountain lightly, and it only took them three days to go down the mountain, but these two nights were spent in the mountains and forests, because it took them more than a day to walk from this mountain, and this was because they had practiced and had good foot strength. If ordinary people have to walk for five or six days, Chaoping is naturally not good at light work, but he has been walking a lot of work these days, and he has also seen some results. In the final analysis, it was he who gave Rou'er back legs, and Rou'er naturally practiced martial arts since she was a child. But Old Man Qu asked Chaoping to follow because he wanted Chaoping to be familiar with what kind of place this is, it can't be said that Chaoping hasn't known where this is after staying here for many years, and he doesn't know which way to go down the mountain, this can't work.

Chaoping and Rou'er are children after all, take a look, halfway on the mountain camping overnight, the next day to the town shop at the bottom of the mountain, this is a small town, but it is quite prosperous, they quickly bought salt, did not stay in the town store longer, they saw a noodle restaurant, sat there and ate two bowls of noodles, Chaoping ate these two bowls of somen noodles is not like before, he gobbled it up, because the food cooked by Rou'er and Old Man Qu on the mountain is really tasteless, it is not as delicious as this plain noodles, and his body is obviously no longer as weak as before, he usually exercises a lot, so the amount of food has also increased significantly。

On the way back to Ping and Rou'er, it was not far at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain road here was very long, entrenched in the mountains, and the forests were verdant and dense everywhere. Chaoping looked at it and said to Rou'er: "Miss Rou'er, look at the terrain here, there are two places where hundreds of soldiers can be ambushed without showing traces. Rou'er said: "You have been interested in these things all day, you are really good material for a general." Chaoping smiled embarrassedly, he just wanted to share what he saw that surprised him with Rou'er, and then he inquired about the old man Qu, although the old man Qu didn't recognize him, but he kept calling him master. Rou'er and Chaoping talked about the heroic deeds of the old man Qu, these Chaoping knew that the old man Qu was famous in the rivers and lakes when he was young, and his kung fu was one of the best in the rivers and lakes, but in his later years, he came to the mountains in order to pursue higher martial arts attainments. Chaoping listened very attentively, and felt that the old man Qu was a master, at this time Qu Rou stopped Chaoping with his hand, and the two of them were instantly quiet, Chaoping knew that Rou'er heard something, and he also listened carefully, and after a long time, he heard a woman shouting for help in the direction in front of them. They walked forward and saw a group of robbers pulling a little girl, the little girl was not very old, and the two of them dragged the little girl to the tree of Daobian, just when Chaoping and Rou'er saw it. Chaoping couldn't see this kind of thing the most, his blood came out again, just like beating chicken blood, he ignored Qu Rou beside him, and trotted to him and shouted: "Stop, it's really unconscionable for a few thieves to bully a little girl." "Chaoping, who has always been sensible, doesn't know how, this time I saw this little girl being bullied and didn't care about how many pounds and taels I came to fight the unevenness, one of the thieves saw Chaoping and thought, a little kid is nosy, and then he got up to push Chaoping, when his hand just put on Chaoping's body, Chaoping's legs involuntarily sank down, especially steady, solid as a rock, the thief didn't even push Chaoping, he was anxious, and he didn't wait for Chaoping to react and hit Chaoping on the lower abdomen, kicking Chaoping three or four steps back and falling to the ground. This thief is also a practitioner, and his martial arts are not bad, he lifted his knife and stepped forward. When Rou'er walked over slowly, the thief's eyes were on Chaoping's body, and he didn't see Rou'er at all, several battles away, Rou'er saw that the thief was going to make a move, and hurriedly performed light skills, and swooped to the side of the thief, he didn't wait for a reaction to be grabbed by Rou'er's wrist holding the knife, Rou'er didn't use any big movement at all, just shook his wrist and pushed it out, and the thief flew out with someone. This shocked the others, these cottages saw that this kid and this girl were here to find trouble, this girl looked good, they moved crookedly, and they all came forward with knives to fight Chaoping and Rou'er. Chaoping stood up and took a few steps back as Rou'er meant. I saw Rou'er step forward and kick the first person who ran over on the calf, and when the person's center of gravity was stable, Rou'er used a move similar to a wild horse's mane to throw the person out, and the fall was so heavy that he couldn't get up at all. Then Rou'er almost single-handedly eliminated a bandit, and soon the bandits were all defeated. Chaoping looked at it intently, thinking that Rou'er's kung fu is too powerful, I don't know how many times more powerful than their family before, I think that if I fight alone, I won't lose to Youyun soldiers at all, it's really someone outside the world. The thieves were all defeated, and Rou'er and Chaoping said: "Brother Chaoping, it's good, the effective fruit of Ma Bu Lian, the thief didn't push you down just now." Rou'er could see at a glance that Chaoping was kicked and not kicked badly, so she joked with him directly, and this time she could choke Chaoping with enough joy, "Yes, Rou'er, I feel that the horse steps are effective, and I can also practice martial arts slowly." "This is equivalent to a pass, indicating that Chaoping can practice martial arts, before he just had the mentality of trying, he used to feel that his body was weak and easy to practice, so practicing martial arts was a luxury for him, but now it is different.

Chaoping and Rou'er walked up to the girl who was being pulled and asked, and the girl said that she was going to go to the relatives in the town store and passed by here, but she didn't expect to meet a thief, and she could see that she was very aggrieved. Rou'er kept persuading her, Chaoping and Rou'er discussed, these bandits are not a matter here, if they let them go, they will do evil, but they can't kill them. Chaoping said that if he sent them to the government, he could also send the girl to her relatives' house. "Go back?" Rou'er asked in surprise, and then said, "It's all about it, but Brother Chaoping, you better take the burden home first, or grandpa should be worried about it after a long time." Chao Ping thought to himself, this girl's martial arts are unfathomable, so he is quite relieved to take this girl and this gang of thieves away. Then Rou'er picked up these seriously injured thieves and planned to escort them to the town store under the mountain, although this Rou'er has good martial arts, but she is definitely not a woman, she is the kind of woman who looks very weak, but her internal strength and martial arts are among the best, it is hard to believe that this teenage girl can have such skills. Then Chaoping and Rou'er separated, and Chaoping walked to the mountains alone with his baggage.
